It is worth highlighting that “This is America” came after Glover’s 2016 nomination to Grammy on the album Awaken, My Love. The song is the first of its kind to bring the state of the country in the limelight. Having watched the video more than once, I have come to realize that there is more going on behind the scenes. The background conveys various details that give the song and video its intended meaning. It is reasonable to say that Glover is a distractive figure as much as he expresses additional information.

During a Saturday Night Live performance, Glover took it to the stage to perform “This Is America” in the company of the video crew. Glover holds the record at Emmy Awards as the pioneering black person to emerge winner for a best-directed comedy award. Moreover, Glover is honorary for Best Comedian Actor at Emmy Awards. Childish Gambino “Redbone” hit also won him a Grammy early in the year for excellent R&B performance.

The mesmerizing video “This Is America” is overly theatrical and artistic marked with dancing and violence both at the foreground and background. The lyrics in the music serves to distract the audience from the reality while acting as an indictment in all instances they apply. “We just wanna party, party just for you” sentiment open the forum to significant changes both lyrically and musically. It is unclear what the party is all about given ongoing racial stereotypes, social media fanatism, police violence, and gun control in the American sphere.

Besides exposing the broken fabrics of the American society, the song and video directly critique the pop-culture on racial discrimination against the blacks living in the united states. “This Is America” video brings out multiple genres including comedy, surrealism, and commentary. The shirtless Glover dances in separate scenes crowned with funny facial expressions. It is disturbing when he pulls up a trigger and shoots at a gospel choir and a hooded captive.

Childish Gambino new album that is yet to be released is expected to be his last one. His latest single, “This Is America” instantaneously shifts its tone from a lighthearted scene “I know you wanna party “to some scary scenes “Police be trippin’ now/ Yeah, this is America/ Guns in my area.” The state of affairs in the video has a lot of resemblance to that in the reality of the country.

Sober

“Sober” comes second in Childish Gambino albums,released in 2014. Glover managed to attain desired levels of blissfulness banking down on his skepticism. His chest is inflated with love as much as with the smoke. The line I’ll never be sober, I couldn’t believe, but now I’m so high” is particularly thrilling. All unquantized drums consistently struggle to stay on track like a person forcibly trying to make a sober impression while fumbling for a wallet on a cash register counter at a gas station.

Glover convincingly brings himself out as the song’s centerpiece, peculiar with a massive bass drop. Glover is keen to stay at the helm of this vast hit song as any other multi-talented, and successful artist would possibly do.
